Answer:

Last option [2.5, 4]

Step-by-step explanation:

The local minima of a function are the points where the slope of the curve is zero and the function reaches a minimum value.

If, on the contrary, the function reaches a maximum value, then that point is a local maximum.

Observe, for example, the point (3, -4). Note that a line tangent to that point would be horizontal, that is, of slope m = 0. This point is a minimum of the function, because there are no values x to the right x = 3 or to the left of x = 3 for which f(x)

Now we must search among the options that interval contains at this point.

The intervals [-4, -2.5] [-2, -1] do not contain any local minimum

The intervalor [1, 2] contains a local maximum.

The only interval that contains a local minimum is [2.5, 4], which contains the point (3, -4)

Find the coordinates of the y-intercept and x-intercepts of the following. (image!)
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this  a couple of ways. We can graph it -- see below. Or we can do the math.

Math

y = x^2 - 2x - 15

This trinomial factors into

y = (x - 5)(x + 3)

from which

x - 5= 0

x = 5

and

x + 3 = 0

x = - 3

The y intercept is the value obtained when all the xs on the right = 0

y = 0^2 - 2*0 - 15

y = - 15

<em>Answer</em>

  • x intercepts: (-3,0),(5,0)
  • y intercept: (0,-15)

The graph is below.
